Crozet take two!

So this year was busier than usual so I think there may be fewer photos than normal!!

Befriending a young wandering albatross didn't start too well!!





Two light mantled sooty albatross, which do their mating dance in the air



Half way through I got to go on holiday and camp in what must be the remote location yet!






  

A quiet afternoon left me time to photograph some young birds trying to choose their partner








On our night on the island, we were in a small hut near the base and had some amazing scenery and even a rainbow to walk through on our way home!






 
Geeks among you will appreciate my excitement when three shy albatrosses started circling the boat less than a day after we left Crozet - the earliest ever and highest number!


A photos of the lovely black browed albatross to finish....
